@BeAware@social.beaware.live I don't know about anyone else but the issue I have with Bluesky isn't that it's run by a company per se.
The issue I have with Bluesky is that it's another case of people parachuting in to try to "save everyone".
They're also so out of touch they think regurgitating QAnon language (without really thinking a whole lot about whether it makes sense) is "policy".
They also promise it will become decentralized at some point in the future. It isn't currently. Also, this sort of "behind closed doors" development is a red flag.
When marketing it, they throw a load of crypto jargon at you, although I suppose it's a Jack Dorsey production, so this makes sense.
@BeAware@social.beaware.live An issue someone specifically raised about the *bridge* (not Bluesky itself, although maybe, someone doesn't trust them either) was that it might be in a position to MITM private or semi-private content.
I think people should already be wary of the privacy of content, particularly when it's going out to so many servers, but that is another possible factor.
